LUGGAGE-CARRIER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 610,251, datedSeptember 6, 1898.

Application filed June 30, 1898. Serial No. 684,870. (No model.) i

Be it known that I, DAVID M. J .i l/VALL, a citizen of the United Statesof America, residing at Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of NewYork, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Luggage-`following descriptionof my said invention, taken in connection with theaccompanying1 sheet of drawings, forms a full, clear, and eX- actspecification, which will enable others skilled in the art to 'which itappertains to` make and use the same.

This invention has general reference 'to luggagecarriers; andit'consists, essentially, in the novel and peculiar combination of partsand details of construction, as hereinafter first fully set forth anddescribed, and then pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings already mentioned, which serve to illustrate my saidinvention more fully, Figure l is a perspective view of my improvedparcel-carrier. Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the same. v Fig. 3 is asimilar view showing the bag in an open condition. Fig. 4. is a plan ofthe frame of this device.

Like parts are designated by corresponding letters of reference in allthe figures.

The object of this invention is the production of an eicient,serviceable, durable, and convenient luggage-carrier that shall beadapted for use on various vehicles-such as the dashboard of carriages,the handle-bars of bicycles, sc-and that shall be very light in Weight.

A in the drawings designates a Wire or other rod or bar having on itsends hook-shaped crooks B B', by means of which the device is properlyaffixed to any suitable object, the bar being made from suitablematerial capable of being bent into proper shape. Near A eyes h', towhich are hinged or swiveled links G G', hereinafter to be referred to.

D is a bar slightly shorter than the bar A and having its ends formedinto hooks DD", by means of which it is secured to the bar A. This bar Dhas formed near its hooks loops d, as clearly shown in Fig. 4, to Whichthe links G are attached.

Eis a bag preferably constructed of netting or reticulated fabric,though other textile fabric, rubber cloth, leather, or` other suitablematerial may be employed. The a `of the fabric and fform a covering forthe bars.

G GrV are two pairs of` links formed of wire and having eyes g ontheirends, which engage each other and the eyes h and loops d, respectively.These links connect the hars A vD and prevent them from being pulledapart beyond azpredetermined distance, and they form ends to the bag,the end strands or loops of which are passed over the links, as clearlyshown in the drawings.

The device described, owing to the introduction of the links connectingthe bars, is stronger, more durable, and more serviceable than anysimilar parcel-carrier with Which I am acquainted.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim- 1. As an improvedarticle of manufacture, a luggage-carrier consisting, essentially, of amain bar having its ends formed into hooks adapted to engage an objectto Which the luggage-carrier is to `be attached, eyes formed on said baradjacent to said hooks, an auxiliary bar shorter than the main bar andhaving hooks adapted to snap onto the main bar, eyes formed in saidauxiliary bar adjacent to said hooks, links, connecting said bars and'formed of rods having their ends formed into eyes engaging each otherand the said eyes on the bars respectively, and a bag secured with itssides to the said bars and With its ends to said links, as and for theobject setv set forth. -Y

2. A frame for a parcel-carrier consisting, essentially, of a bar, hooksat the endthereof, eyes adjoining these hooks, a furtherbar slightlyshorter than the said first-mentioned bar and having hooks at its endsadapted to engage the said first-mentioned bar, loops adjoining thesehooks, and links having eyes at their ends engaging each other` and theeyes and loops of the bars respectively, as and for the use and purposespecified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have hereuntoset my hand in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
